HobbyKing EPP FPV

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

With more video equipment being made and sold for FPV flying, there has been a huge gap in the market for suitable airframes. While pretty much any aircraft can be set up for FPV with some creativity, airplanes really intended for FPV are far and few between. The EPP FPV is HobbyKing’s effort to provide an airframe to go along with some of the wireless video equipment being sold by them and others. Designed to accommodate enough payload to satisfy any FPV flyer, the EPP FPV wasn’t intended to be fast, aerobatic, or float like a thermal glider; this airplane is all about being smooth and stable and cruising around with video equipment on-board.

FY-20A RC Stabilization System

Monday, August 9th, 2010

There are already various flight stabilization systems for model airplanes on the market. Now, because of their small size, weight and handling, they are more suitable and affordable for FPV. The new FY-20A (basic) and the FY-21AP (with Return Home feature) are excellent examples of such systems. These systems have no sensors outside the model and perform in every weather condition as well as in complete darkness.
The FPV shop www.fpvflying.com has provided us with the basic version, the FY-20A.

The “Maja” is developed by the German Borjet aeromodels company and is a real workhorse for FPV with a high loading capacity, high-quality flight characteristics and enough room for all your equipment.
